Metal Detector Systems
Designed to identify and remove metal contaminants from food products during the production and packaging process. These contaminants can include metal fragments, such as pieces of metal machinery, broken equipment parts, or even metal shavings that might inadvertently find their way into the food. Detecting and removing these contaminants is crucial to ensuring food safety and consumer confidence.

Applications
Fortress Technology - Metal Detector Head
Stealth Metal Detectors use powerful Digital Signal Processing technology and have high sensitivity
levels for detecting the smallest ferrous, non-ferrous, and stainless-steel contaminants. You can
customize the Stealth to suit any application with custom Conveyor Systems and Reject options we
manufacture to your specifications.
Fortress Technology - Large Bag Metal Detector
The Fortress “Big Bag King” sets an untouchable industry standard for sensitivity levels. Reliably
detecting 2.0 mm stainless steel within 50-100 lb. bags of dry product is virtually unheard of in
other leading systems. Our built-in data collection and Contact Reporter Software automates record
keeping for this critical control point.
Vector Big Bag King Conveyor Systems are custom-made from heavy-duty stainless steel to suit any
large bag application. The robust conveyors maintain optimal performance under harsh conditions
and heavy products and can be customized to withstand washdown environments.
Fortress Technology - Gravity Metal Detector
Stealth Gravity Metal Detectors are designed to inspect a wide range of products in
free-falling applications. Systems are available with a selection of pipe sizes and
reject systems to remove contaminated products from good product flow.
Fortress Technology - Pipeline Metal Detector
Pipeline Systems are manufactured to inspect the inline of pumped liquids and pastes
transported through a pipe. Various reject valves, pipe materials, and fittings are
available to suit existing lines and product specifications (Temperature, Pressure,
Viscosity). All pipeline systems are IP69K rated, ruggedly built to handle the harshest
washdown environment.
Fortress Technology - Interceptor DF Metal Detector
The Interceptor DF uses a simultaneous multi-frequency operation that effectively
processes the transmission and reception of multiple frequencies continuously over a
broad spectrum. Developed with Divergent Field technology, it’s the world’s first metal
detector to use multiple field directions. This technology dramatically improves the
detection of ultra-thin contaminants often encountered in processing lines, significantly
improving detection capabilities.
Fortress Technology - Interceptor Metal Detector
Interceptor Metal Detectors improve stainless-steel detection capabilities up to 100%,
reducing waste and costly false rejects in challenging applications. Optimized for
inspecting more difficult “wet” products such as meat, dairy and other conductive
products, the Interceptor simultaneously analyzes multiple frequencies over a broad
spectrum to clearly distinguish the signal generated by the product from any metal
contaminants.
Fortress Technology - Meat Pump Metal Detector
Meat products naturally have a high risk of containing metal fragments, which is why
Fortress Technology developed the Meat Pump Metal Detection System to fulfill the
highest quality standards of the food industry.
The Meat Pump Pipeline System is optimized for inspecting high viscosity meats and
other products from culinary vacuum fillers. This precision detector utilizes Digital
Signal Processing technology with high sensitivity levels to clearly identify the presence
of a metal contaminant.
Place consumer safety first with the Meat Pump Metal Detector.
Fortress Technology - Pharmaceutical Metal Detector
The Stealth Pharmaceutical Metal Detector provides the ideal solution for detecting
and rejecting the smallest metal contaminants in tablets and capsules. With its GMP
design and construction in line with FDA compliance, the system meets the stringent
QA requirements of the pharmaceutical industry.
Contact parts are all removable for easy cleaning. This compact detector can be easily
angled and height-adjusted to suit any tablet press configuration. Featuring an electric
servo-driven cowbell reject, air is not needed, and it’s suitable for any tablet/capsule
size.
Fortress Technology - Vertex Metal Detector
Ultra-slim Stealth Vertex Metal Detectors are used in specialized packaging
applications involving free-falling products. The compact Vertex fits where other metal
detectors can’t – typically between a Multi-head Weigher and a Vertical Form Fill &
Seal machine (Bagger).
Fortress Technology - Laboratory Q/A Metal Detector
The roll-around Stealth Laboratory Metal Detector Systems are used offline to examine rejected products further. The Lab unit lets you quickly separate metal contaminants from the defective product for further analysis.
Fortress Technology - Lumber Metal Detector
Lumber Metal Detectors are custom manufactured to suit large-scale applications and harsh environments. Ruggedly built, Stealth lumber detectors are suited for scanning an entire log to ensure downstream machinery protection where damage can be extremely costly.
Fortress Technology - Web Textile Metal Detector
Surface Web Metal Detection systems are designed to detect metallic fragments in wide, sheeted materials, continuous webs, and other thin products such as textiles, paper, boards, food packaging, box board, poly films or products packaged on a roll/web. Aperture widths can be custom-sized according to specific requirements. For very wide applications, we divide the detector into individual sections for more accurate results and to narrow in on the contaminant location.
Fortress Technology - Vent Tube Metal Detector
Vent Tube Metal Detector is primarily designed to detect any fallen vent tube and fill tube nozzles in plastic or glass bottles of up to 3 liters/6.5 pints. The convenient retrofit design allows for easy installation into existing bottling lines.
Fortress Technology - Surface Metal Detector
Modular Surface Metal Detectors are custom manufactured to inspect wide sheeted materials off a roll or continuous web such as paper, textiles, and boxboard. The modular system uses a unique rail-mounted design with a quick removal feature which enables each module to be independently placed, repositioned, removed and replaced, even while a web is present. The modular design can be expanded to fit any web width, and the modular detector is durable and easy to service. It is an extremely versatile system suitable for high-speed and high-performance processes.
Fortress Technology - In-Foil Metal Detector
Ferrous-In-Foil Metal Detectors overlook the presence of aluminum foil and other non-ferrous metals in fresh or frozen packaged products, successfully detecting ferrous metals such as iron and steel. Digital Signal Processing technology is utilized with high sensitivity levels to detect the smallest ferrous contaminants.
Fortress TechnologyMulti-Aperture Metal Detector
The Multi-Aperture Metal Detector is a compact system that fulfills all performance specifications and cuts the equipment footprint by over 50%, optimizing factory floor space. The unit also has a lane-independent reject that sharpens operational efficiencies, drastically reducing the cost of waste per reject event.
This metal detector sets a new industry standard for performance with multiple apertures in a singular rugged body. With a dedicated smaller aperture for each lane, the range is more sensitive to smaller metal particles, detecting ferrous, non-ferrous and stainless steel metal.
Halo Automatic Testing System for Metal Detectors
The revolutionary Halo system is an automatic metal detector testing device ideal for applications where manual testing is complex due to access, position, access to the product flow, environmental conditions, etc. We designed Halo to test ferrous, non-ferrous and stainless-steel samples on all Fortress metal detectors. Automatic testing saves time, money, labor, and removes the risk of human error and workplace injury at critical control points on a manufacturing line.
Halo is suitable for any Fortress metal detector. Its typically added at the point of manufacture, but users can also add it to some existing systems.
